Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. I want to thank hon. Mburu for bringing this Motion. In particular, I want to urge the Government to tarmack a minimum of 20 kilometers per year in every constituency. I have a case in point in my own constituency, which is Mbeere North. We have a district headquarters called Siakago which was started in 1950. There is a stretch of 29 kilometers that has never been tarmacked. We get into a lot of trouble when pregnant mothers are referred to the provincial headquarters in Embu. At times, they give birth on the way. I pray that, once that is done, the Government will prioritize the 29 kilometers road. I would also appreciate that, that tarmac is stretched all the way from Siakago to Ketire. Thank you. With those few remarks, I beg to support."}
